The Fens, also known as the Fenland(s), is a naturally marshy region in eastern England. Most of the fens were drained several centuries ago, resulting in a flat, damp, low-lying agricultural region.
A fen is the local name for an individual area of marshland or former marshland and also designates the type of marsh typical of the area, which has neutral or alkaline water chemistry and relatively large quantities of dissolved minerals, but few other plant nutrients.
Fenland primarily lies around the coast of the Wash; it reaches into four ceremonial counties: Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and a small area of Suffolk, as well as the historic county of Huntingdonshire. In whole it occupies an area of nearly 1,500 sq mi (3,900 km2).
Most of the Fenland lies within a few metres of sea level. As with similar areas in the Netherlands, much of the Fenland originally consisted of fresh- or salt-water wetlands, which have been artificially drained and continue to be protected from floods by drainage banks and pumps. With the support of this drainage system, the Fenland has become a major arable agricultural region in Britain for grains and vegetables. The Fens are particularly fertile, containing around half of the grade 1 agricultural land in England.
Set in the flat, windswept expanse of the Fens, this little mound of earth known as Chapel Hill has intrigued archaeologists for years. The landowners have found ornately carved stone blocks around the hill, suggesting a religious building may once have stood on it - but they've also found beautiful flint axes that are at least 4000 years old.

Pipeline Through the Fens (1968) - extract. Subscribe: http://bit.ly/subscribetotheBFI This striking documentary focuses on the construction of the hidden conduit for North Sea gas lurking under the picturesque Norfolk fenland. 'Pipeline Through the Fens' was filmed during the 12 weeks in 1968 it took to lay 43 miles of pipeline under the county. The film (made on behalf of The Gas Council) focuses on the considerable engineering achievement involved in linking sections of pipe (each one 40 feet long, 36 inches wide and weighing 4.5 tons) and burying them 9ft below the surface. The workers scrupulous care is understandable - you really wouldn't want to be trying to find a leak later on!

Fallout 4- The Legend of Fens Street Sewer- The Fens Phantom, dear detective holotapes and corpse like art pieces. This and more in this episode of Fallout 4- Legends of Fens Street Sewer: More serial killers. The people I feel the most kinship with. So this is a sewer located just outside Diamond city, and it was the hunting ground of the fens phantom, a notorious pre war serial killer. They have arranged many sculptures throughout the sewer for the detective, who came alone, to find. Beside some of these are the dear detective holotapes where the phantom tells the detective how obsessed they are with them, and how the detective feels the same way. Their fate is unknown, however we discuss some of the possible theories during this episode. I hope you enjoy the episode :) Music: Magnu...
Florida is called the „Sunshine State”. Visitors mainly come here to enjoy the sunshine, the sea, the never ending sandy shore of the peninsula and the unique atmosphere of Miami. But of course it is worth to spent time on the landscape-protection areas such as the Everglades National Park and its fen, where they can slalom in between the alligators on hovercrafts.The following sights are also significant: Kennedy Space Centre in Cape Canaveral, the House of Hemingway in Key West, the House of Edison in Fort Myers, the Salvador Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg and the oldest American fortress – Castillo de San Marcos - in St. Augustine.Orlando is equally the paradise of pleasant relaxation for kids and adults. We can find Disneyworld, Sea World, Epcot Centre and the Universal Studio there… -...

In Chongqing, you can find Chinese street food and all sorts of local specialties everywhere you go. These noodles were found in a tourist area yet had very local taste! Please like: www.facebook.com/foodrangin I was planning a trip to Chongqing for only one day, and did not intend on making a video, but just try all of the food as my time would be too limited. However, after sitting down in an alley to eat some street food; noodles, there were two girls beside me also eating the same noodles. I asked them if they always eat these and if they liked them, and then we started talking. It turned out that they had the whole day to explore and wanted to show me around. After a few...
